Grand -e:rIds and the Pioneer Pulp
Enl Company Suffer Great Loss.
Their Pulp Mill, Warehouse, and Fix
lures Ascend Ia Smoke.
I Origin and Cause not Known.

We are panied this week to
chronicle the obstruction, by fire,
of the Pioneer Pulp Company's
mill. Is net only a severe loss to
the Ccnlpa7y, but to the community
as well. Mi. and Mrs. Geo. E.
Hoskinson, the principal owners,
who lately n.oseei into oa..- ssister
sf<Gsi4y C4-ntralia, from Green Bary as
permanent residents, and placed
their money in this enterprise in
our city, will be more or less
crippled financially by this calami-
ty.
The alarm of fire was sounded
at about halfpast four o'clock Sun
day morning when the fire was
first discovered by parties in a GER
tain saloon down town. The
engine was Immediately taken oat
to the scene OF action and did
good work until the fire was ex-
tinguished, in charge of the
engineer. The origin of the fire
is unknown. Usually the mill
was run night and day, but Satur-
day evening at seven o'clock the
mill was shut down on account of
anchor ice. The last man in the
mill was Mr.. John Slattery and he
says there was no fire in one stove
and only little in the back of the
other. He examined them to
satisfy himself that everything was
all right before leaving the mill.
When the fire was first discovered
it was issuing from the northwest
and southeast corners of the mill.
Mr.. Pitch and the engineer, d. M.
Huntington, stated that when they
first saw the fire it was through
out the building. No special place
but throughout the entire struc-
ture. 1t burned with great rapid
ty and was beyond saving when
the engine arrived. The engineer
was delayed IN getting the engine
started on the account of some
disturbance with the engine. A
nut on the piston rod had been
loosened. Somebody who was
we'll acquainted with an engine had
been meddling with it.
All the facts known by the pro-
prietors point towards the work of
an inoendiary, yet not sufficient
evidence to get any clue of the
offender. It is hoped that if it is
the work of an incendiary, that
the guilty party may become
known and justly punished for
such an offense.
The loss to the company is
estimated to be about $4,000.
Insured in several outside agencies
to the amount of SI4,5oo. The
company expect to rebuild.

The chief engineer of the Kansas VAL
ley road, the new line which is being
built from Kansas City via. Topeka, to
Denver, arrived in this city Thursday
night, and the men who are giving the
financial enterprise backing are expect
ed to visit Topeka in about two weeks.
The route, which has been practically
agreed upon, is from Topeka on the
south side of the river to junction City,
through the Fort Riley reservation to
Abilene and Solomon City, and thence
west to Denver. The charter was filed
some time ago, and as several Philadel-
phia capitalists are among the parties
interested in the work, the prospects
for the immediate construction of the
road are excellent. The work of max
ing the surveys is in the hands of Pitts
burg engineers and the road will cost,
if built, S6,OOO,OOO. Ex-Governor
Osborne is the president Of the COM
pany.-I0peka Commonwealth.

Chicago is going to build a hall that
will seat 5000 people. Two hundred
men are at work removing old build
ings and clearing the ground for the
new structure which is to be ten stories
high, and Will cost a million and half
dollars. The building will have a
frontage of 700 feet Oh three streets,
Michigan avenue, Congress street and
Wabash avenue. The plans for the in-
terror arrangement call for a hall OF
auditorium with a seating capacity of
5000 ordinarily, but which can be in
creased on emergencies to 5000, such,
for example, as on occasions of conven-
tions, etc. In addition to the main
floor there will be two large balconies,
and fifty-one highly Ornamented boxes
will be placed on the sides of the pros
cenium. The stage, which will be
furnished with every equipment neces-
sary to render it complete, will occupy
space 70Xl20 feet, and will be the
largest in the world with one exception
that of the La Scala opera house at
Milan.

has spoken without the book; and
while we beg to assure our newspaper
friends in the Dominion that the En-
q.rirer is profoundly grateful for their
kind and constant notices of itself, yet
we are forced seriously to invite their
attention to few solemn propositions :
There is no "buncombe'' in this shrek
of the American eagle. The treaty of
1918 is rudiment long since rendered
imperative by the intervals of inaction
brought about by the Reciprocity
Treaty of 1854 and the Washington
Treaty of 1871. These treaties were of
temporary duration, but they overthrow
the old one of 1918. The Canadian
claim is that when they died the 1918
treaty revived. That is not American
law, nor yet is it international law.
Nothing can revive dead ''fact" but
its formal re-adoption. The claim of
this country is that we now have no
treaty on the fisheries question, and
that we propose to fish and cut bait
wherever we please upon this continent
1t may be as well for Canada to under
stand, clearly and at once that we pro-
pose to do it.-S Joe Gazette.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1887-02-10
The Canadian Press.

The Canadian exchange list of this
paper is probably much larger than any
which Congressman Lawler has been
able to examine, and yet our most care
full scrutiny fails to discover that ''bel-
ligerent tOne'' of which he speaks in
his resolutions to the House. There
has been much badinage, and some
light ridicule; but, upon the whole, the
comment has been thoroughly good
natured, generally argumentative, and
at times even affectionate. The most
aggressive article which has come to
notice is that of the London (Ontario)
Advertiser, which treats the Edmunds
bill as American buncombe; ;" but
even that is so gracefully done that no
one but a lunatic could take umbrage
at it. The best effort, from the Cana
dian standpoint, appeared in the Mon
treal Star Of the 2Sth of January, oc-
cupying column, and presenting a
purely dispassionate argument. Of
course the Star thinks Canada is right,
and it relies upon the following section
of the Treaty of 1S1S--fn reprinting
we faithfully follow the Stars italics
and small-capsl:
The United States hereby renounce
forever any liberty heretofore enjoyed
or claimed by the inhabitants thereof,
to take, dry or cure fish on or aCittin
three marine miles of any of the coasts,
bays, creeks or harbOrs of His Brittanic
Majesty's dominions in America not in
cli'ded in the above mentioned limits.
Provided, ho,ceuer, that the american fish
ernlen shall be admitted to enter such bays
or hdrbOrS for the purpose of SHELTER
AND OF REPAIRING DAMAGES THERE
II, OF PURCHASING WOOD AND OF
OBTAINING WATER, AND FOR NO
OTHER PURPOSE WHATEVER. But
they shall be under such restrictions as
may be necessary to prevent their TAX
ing, drying or curing fish therein or in
any other manner whatever abusing the
privileges hereby reserved to them.
Nor does the Star fail to notice the
burden of the United States claim that
this three-mile limit should follow the
sinuosities of the shore. While insist
ing that Great Britain and the DOmin-
ion are right in holding the contrary
in holding that the three miles should
be measured from cape to cape-it pre-
sents that, out of pure good feeling, |
Canada first conceded that the cape
limit should be between points ten
miles apart, and subsequently came
down to six miles,
The Hamilton Spectator, one Of the
ablest of the Canadian papers, has
been at the same time, one of the most
jolly in the matter. 1t seems to treat
it as a first-class case of International
joke. The Quebec Budget is also cheer
fully chirpy and quite complimentary
to the American eagle.
So we say that Congressman Lawler
